Most people infected with Salmonella experience symptoms such as diarrhea, fever, and stomach cramps. Symptoms traditionally start six hours to six days after eating food contaminated with the bacteria. Most people recover without treatment after four to seven days. Children younger than five years, adults over 65 years, and individuals with weakened immune systems may experience more severe illnesses that may require medical treatment or hospitalization.
